Last week, it was revealed acclaimed actress Angela Bassett will make her directorial debut with the biopic set for a 2015 release.

But soon after this news broke, Houston’s family became vocal about not supporting the film. And Bobbi Kristina joined soon after.

“I don’t know how to feel, this so called “film” isn’t in my positive thoughts. That’s MY mother, what makes YOU think that’s ok with me?” she tweeted.

But it sounds like she’s more upset about not playing her mother than the movie being made.

“Any1 would or should EVER play my mother & tell OUR story, we’ve talked MANYtimes&1&ONLY person she approved of is ME. Understand that,” she continued. “&& I hope that answers every && ANYONES questions about it to me. You don’t have to like it, but it WILL be respected .. Always&4ever.”

Nevertheless, she knows her mother is a legend, and folks want to honor her.

She added, “TRULY understand ppl want 2love&honor#HERSTORY way they think should be told. But simply out of respect, All I ask isn’t mucho lol :).”
